Improving the processability while maintaining excellent stretch and elasticity is very important for elastomeric materials. Here is discussed the processing and properties of several recently developed elastomers, and it is shown that optimum elastic recovery can be achieved by blending polyolefin elastomers with fully hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers, the Figure showing a co‐continuous morphology.
